New Jersey Devils head coach Peter DeBoer said that he expects Jaromir Jagr to play in the team's season-opener. "I believe he'll be ready. That's just my opinion," DeBoer said. "I'd like to see him in an exhibition game or two in a perfect world, but I think he'll be ready." It's wise to use caution with the 41-year-old winger, as injuries might be an issue all season long.
